Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Anderson, At the end of last week I had a conversation with Mr. John Morris, of the S.U. Carburetter Co. Ltd., Birmingham, who is developing a fuel injection pump and paying particular attention to the problem of the injection of Safety Fuels. I took the liberty of mentioning in very general terms your interest in this subject, and I believe that he intends to get in touch with you with a view to having a discussion.
